Does this sign warn you that you are approaching an intersection where traffic merges from the left?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a road through a forest behind a red concrete mixer lorry, which blocks part of your view, and you pass on the right a triangular warning sign on which a thick vertical line represents your road, and a thin line without an arrowhead branches off from it to the left. This is sign A-6c "junction with a minor road on the left", not A-6e, which warns of the mouth of a one-way road. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that signs A-6a, A-6b and A-6c warn of a junction with a minor road on both sides, on the right or on the left respectively, and signs A-6d and A-6e warn of a junction with a one-way minor road whose mouth is on the right or on the left respectively; on the latter signs the thin line ends with an arrow showing the direction of traffic on the intersecting road. The difference matters in practice: with A-6e vehicles can only come out from the left, while with A-6c the minor road is two-way, so someone may come out of it or turn into it. In both cases you have right of way, but you watch the mouth of the road on the left.
